So, add 3y to both sides to get 2x=3y+6.  Now subtract 6 from both sides to get 2x-6=3y.  Dividing both sides by 3 we get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=%282%2F3%29x-2=y ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"%282%2F3%29x-2=y\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  We now have a line in the format y=mx+b, where m is the slope; that means the slope of our line is <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=2%2F3 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"2%2F3\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  To find the y-intercept, we use x=0 in the equation and we get y=-2, or the ordered pair (0,-2).  The graph is:<BR>\n" );
